[QUOTE="acabtp, post: 361713, member: 5368"] if anything, putting it on over gluvit would make the steelflex crack even worse because it would be able to flex more. cracking at a rivet indicates the rivet was moving, which means it should have been fixed before the steelflex went on anyway. if you fix the loose rivets before putting the steelflex on, your boat isn't floppy (i.e. you didn't remove the center seats w/o adding support), and you follow Fasco's application instructions, you won't have any problems. the only place where the steelflex has come off of my boat in years of hard use is the keel where beaching on gravel has sanded it off.
